Domaine Pattes Loup Chablis 2022

A ripe, fresh and attractively spicy nose reflects a variety of both red and dark pinot fruit nuances

Champimonts (or Champs Pimont) is a Beaune Premier Cru on the mid-slope, in the south of the appellation, on limestone soils. The wine is made without chemicals or additives, apart from a very small dose of sulphur

The colour is straw yellow. The nose combines yellow apple, apricot and white flowers, with a touch of spice. The palate is young, juicy and fresh

The 2022 is pale in colour, with a discreet nose of red and black berries, purple flowers and forest floor, plus a touch of cedar. The palate is broad and silky, more powerful than expected, with the ripe fruit of a sunny vintage

Gamay 90% Pinot 10%

Black with a purple rim, the wine shows black cherry, ripe raspberry, blackcurrant and a floral touch on the nose. The medium-bodied palate is sleek and exceptionally concentrated, with saline tension and a hint of orange zest

The 2019 Echézeaux Grand Cru has a clean and very precise bouquet: nicely focused with palpable mineralité even at this early juncture

The colour is pale gold. The nose unfolds in the glass with crisp orchard fruit, citrus zest, blanched almonds and bread dough, with a floral touch. The palate is full and generous, with an elegant texture and lively acidity
